'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' swinging to a close in January

The much-maligned Broadway musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" is itself
going dark in January, the
Wall Street Journal reports.

The show will stay around long enough for a last holiday-season ticket run
before shuttering after a two-and-a-half-year run, the paper reported Monday.
Citing people close to the matter, the WSJ said "Spider-Man" had been running at
the break-even point for some time.

Messages sent by TheWrap to the show's publicity firm
was not immediately returned.
